Disability Studies (3 credits)
This course will introduce students to the field of Disability
Studies. As an emerging interdisciplinary field of study, Disability
Studies does not approach disability as a "medical condition, but
as a human condition" (Charlton). Instead of studying the causes
and rehabilitation of persons with disabilities, we will explore the
historical, social, political, religious, philosophical, and cultural
influences that "construct" the category of "disability." We will
also examine how persons with disabilities construct their own
meanings and identities.
